re: #117 Thanos

Actually your scenario is the extreme case, and even in that case these changes will not happen overnight. I have immense faith in humanity’s ability to muddle its way through to solutions.
The one caveat I always make with that statement: in an scarce energy scenario our options become extremely limited.

It’s not about energy. Ultimately, it’s about water. As climate changes, water patterns will shift. Population density has always been about available water. When water accessibility changes, what do you think will happen?
